Once went to the bar in the Railway and asked for some crisps.

Barmaid said 'not got any, the rats had them'.......


.......'you could have a pie though'

Think you are right but no doubt Charlie will think it was the Acorn Alehouse or the Circus Tavern.

It was the Swan as someone posted earlier and I thinkit was the late Frank Urmston who threw the chair through the window. As a kid old Mr Price was the landlord, his family lived in Gordon St and he served me before I was 16, godbless him.

I BOW to all those with a SUPERIOR knowledge , as a mere mortal i never profess to know everything, i never have , also as a teetotaller how i can i be expected to be good on PUBS ,However my knowledge is there for the advice i can help with .

As Mr B NO DOUBT thinks his knowledge is better than any Clowns , though i do challenge this , getva grip of yourself Mr B THE DRINKS ARE ON CHARLIE. .

What was that pub called at the bottom of leigh bridge which is now an amusement arcade?

The Royal Oak was there, and was it the Railway?

Twas merely a nipper at the time.

When I was a toddler, I remember the Willow Tree on Heath Lane (Last Shift). Used to wait for the old chap on a Friday evening to come out after a shift in the pit.

The pub was deralict for years. I am sure it was haunted !!

The Royal Oak was right on the corner were the jobs place is know and the Live and Let Live was a couple off doors down Twist Ln. Quite a dangerous place to drink the Oak as busses and coal trucks used to crash into it regular.

What about the Red Fox on Chapel St , or the Bull on Railway Road?What was the Pub next door to the Telephone Exchange called?

Was it 'Our House' or was that on the opposite side?

I cant remember , thats why im asking i thought one of our Alcoholic users may know Cmon Frankie , what was it called?

Not a clue I don't know where the telephone Exchange is/was ?

Was this the one in its last incarnation known as the Moonraker? I can't remember its name before that but Harry Ridgeway was the landlord in the sixties.

Well would that not be the Liberal Club ? At the top of Duke St.
